{{Redirect|UTL|the library system of the University of Toronto|University of Toronto Libraries}} The '''Technical University of Lisbon''' (''UTL'' – {{lang-pt|Universidade Técnica de Lisboa}}, {{IPA-pt|univɨɾsiˈdad(ɨ) ˈtɛknikɐ dɨ liʒˈboɐ|pron}}) is a [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[public university]]. It was created in 1930 in [[Lisbon]], as a confederation of older schools, and comprises, nowadays, the [[Faculty (division)|faculties]] and institutes of veterinary medicine; agricultural sciences; economics and business administration; engineering, social and political sciences; architecture; and human kinetics.
